His Payment Kiss (Completed) [R-18]

25 : Different

Her new city life

It felt really very different having my feet step on a different place. Breath the air on a different place. Get to speak with new people.

It had never been that easy adjusting to a new environment, I did struggle somehow but I always get to look forward on having myself inclined with the city.

I had been studying for quite sometime now. Nakakapagod na ring mag-aral. You have to stay late at night just to finish all your student responsibilities. But it all seemed to be just a mere daily routine for me for the past four years of my life.

And now that I get to be on a near space to reaching my goals or shall I say that I've reached my goals worth while, everything comes back to me like it just happened yesterday.

I've left my birth place with a heartbreak. I'm feeling empty because I left my heart with him. I left my ability to love again with him. Until now, he held my heart captive and placed it in his heart, sealed with barriers that no one can invade and overthrow. Hanggang ngayon nasa kanya parin ang puso ko.

" Hi there Mrs. Robinsons. How are you feeling today" I greeted one of my clients who is nine months pregnant with her first child and is due on giving birth this month.

" My tummy hurts most of the time, Doctor and I already feel my labor pains radiating from front to back" She explained. I slightly nodded. Normal lang kase sa buntis na malapit ng manganak ang pagsakit ng tiyan.

" You're near to giving birth already Mrs. Robinsons. What you are feeling now are preliminary signs of true labor" I assured Mrs. Robinsons.

" When am I going to give birth then, Doctor" She asked once more. Those questions are really frequently asked by pregnant patients. But we doctors, base our answers to their ultrasound or even their last menstrual period. You can determine the month in which a woman started to conceive even by basing on her last menstrual period. It is practically because a woman tends to experience amenorrhea once she's been able to conceive a life in her womb. Absence of menstruation can be an indication of pregnancy.

" Thank you Doctor. I'll tell my husband. He's waiting for me outside" Masayang saad sa akin ni Mrs. Robinsons. Saglit pa'y pumasokna rin sa loob ng clinic ang kanyang asawa.

" Good day Dr. Roquez" Bati sa akin ni Mr. Robinsons.

" Good day to you too Mr. Robinsons" I greeted back. I told him all the things that I've mentioned to his wife. Nakinig naman siya at bahagyang napapatango na lamang sa mga sinasabi ko. Halata kong excited narin ang mag-asaw sa paglabas ng kanilang anak.

They both baded goodbye afterwards. I planned on having Mrs. Robinsons confined in two days time. I'm anticipating that she might give birth ahead of time. Well, basing it still on her ultrasound results. The baby is 38 weeks age of gestation. Just appropriate for a baby to be born already.

Saglit akong napatingin sa aking phone ng magring ito. Inangat ko agad ang tawag.

" This is Doctor Roquez, on the line" I said. Agad ko namang narinig ang boses ni Seve sa kabilang linya.

" Hey Gabby. Labas tayo mamaya" Pakuway saad niya. Seve has been a very good friend of mine. Madalas ko siyang kasama nung nag-aaral pa lang ako. Pilipino din siya kaya naman mabilis akong naging malapit sa kanya. And he really is a very jolly person. He's gay but not all knows it. Madalas kase parang lalaki rin kung makapag asta 'tong si Seve. One thing that I know from him, He doesn't actually likes his name that much. Panglalaki raw, natatawa na lamang ako sa kanya tuwing binabanggit niyang ayaw niya sa pangalan niya. You cannot have a female version of his name that's why. Hindi rin naman kase pwede ang Sieve in exchange for Seve. Parang pareho lang din kase. Spelling lang ang naiba. That's why sometimes, I call him Savi. It's like short for Savannah. 'Yun daw kase ang dream name niya, Savannah. He seems happy when I call him with that name. Nakakababae daw. Pero naloloka ako dun.
